Abstract
New series of 5-benzyl-6-methyl-4-oxo pyridazin-2-yl alkanoic acids, N-[(pyridazin-2-yl)alkyl] succinyl and glutaryl amides have been synthesized and evaluated in vitro as TXA 2 biosynthesis inhibitors. The experiments were carried out using arachidonic acid (32.8 μM) as a substrate and horse platelet microsomes as sources of TXA 2 synthase. The presence of TXB 2, a stable metabolite of TXA 2, was determined by RIA. The potency of active compounds (1.10 −4 < IC 50 < 1.10 −6 M) greatly depends on the length of the chain at the N-2 position on the pyridazine ring. Furthermore, enzyme inhibition in vitro is increased with the presence of a halogen atom on the aromatic moiety of the benzyl group at C-5. Compound 4f having a pentanoic side chain and a 4-fluoro benzyl moiety was the most active derivative with an IC 50 value of 6.69 × 10 −6 M. Molecular modelling studies were done on all the synthesized pyridazinones and on prostaglandin H 2 (PGH 2) suggesting spatial features and volumes of TXA 2 synthase pharmacophore mode in these series of derivatives.
